After 1300, the name Nieder-Hilbersheim first came up in documents.

In 1334 a church is mentioned for the first time, and is believed to have been consecrated to Saint Martin, which yielded today's coat of arms, which show Saint Martin cutting a piece of his cloak off for a beggar. At this point, the community belonged to the Electorate of the Palatinate Oberamt of Stromberg.
